Widespread Firefox issues
by Brielle Bruns 04 May '19

04 May '19

Just an FYI since this is bound to impact users: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973 Basically, Mozilla forgot to renew an intermediate cert, and people's Firefox browsers have mass-disabled addons. Whoops. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org

Looking for audiovisual resources on Clos topologies
by Sadiq Saif 03 May '19

03 May '19

Hi all, I recently read a APNIC blog post about LINE's network redesign [0] into a Clos topology. That lead to me RFC7938 [1] which has a fairly minimal explanation of the topology design itself. I was wondering if there are any NANOG or other *NOG talks explaining the Clos topology in a more audiovisual format. I figured I ask here before I go looking on a search engine. Thanks in advance.

Optical routes from MI-OH regionals
by Jason Lixfeld 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi, Looking for someone who might have routes (lit or dark) from Detroit, MI to Columbus, OH preferably using a straight’ish shot from Toledo to Columbus. Most routes I’ve seen from the larger providers tend to run Toledo - Lima - Columbus or Toledo - Cleveland - Columbus, so I’m hoping a smaller regional player may have something more direct. Thanks in advance!
